khao pla

best thai food one can ever find in sydney. my partner and i keep returning to this restaurant only because the food is so authentic and yummy. we can never get enough of it and keep returning to it, sometimes even every week. i have never tasted better thai food ever! the service is excellent and the people running the restaurant are so sweet. give it a try if you are looking for some awesome authentic thai.

best thai in chatswood but if you can't handle spice do not order any dish with chilli.
the milk tea has to be my favourite in sydney, creamy and full unlike watery chatime.
pad thai and pad see ew full of flavour, noodles cooked perfectly.
ribs fell off the bone and the sour and sweet sauce complimented the meat well.
chicken and cashew nuts too spicy for me to eat compared to other thai restaurants though, i thought it would be lighter and sweeter.

the food is very good. we had the pork ribs, pad si ew and the sticky black rice and roselle for dessert. the pork ribs were very good, full of flavour and crispy on the outside. the pad si ew was also very good. the sticky black rice was delicious. the amount of food was just right and not too little and not too much. the only thing was the service was not very friendly. the lady who took our order seemed very impatient. but overall, we were pleased with the food.

amazing food! the massamam beef curry is seriously good! the wait for a table takes ages, but it also does delivery on menulog which is really good

this place is always busy, good service and the wait for a table is not so bad (depending on day and time) sometimes there's too much fish sauce in the food, but if you don't mind the smell or taste, one of the best thai places out there

must try:
• raw salmon dish
• pork ribs (delicious!)

at first, i doubted this thai restaurant because chatswood has a large chinese community. i am taking back every word i said because khoa pla is straight up amazing and i will let you know why. . the restaurant is right at the heart of the shopping centre which is easy to get to. the place is very cozy with just a few small tables for customers. i particularly liked the painting that embraces a lot of thai culture.

terrible service...i thought the watress was a communist. haha..the waitress ordered where to sit and no choice for you to make... she will be upset and be laugh at you in public... haha ... also she can't speak english.... i have to say chilli basil chicken 3times! haha
it was the worst thai restaurant i have ever been in my life!!!

i ordered seafood fried rice, don't remember the thai name though and the flavour and fish were really tasty.

the dessert needs a special mention here. the completely contrasting wide range of ingredients which you won't even think of mixing with an icecream actually prompted me to order this and it turned out to be one of the best desserts i have ever had so far. do try it out.

will keep going to try all their dishes

went here for dinner for a gf's bday and i'm amazed i've never heard of this restaurant before specially since i walked past it a couple of weeks before but i'm glad i've tried it. the food was so good. the portions were a little smaller than other thai restaurants i've been to but the flavours was definitely there. we ordered the pla dip and it was very cleansing in the palette and you can taste the flavour of the lime with the salmon. the fried chicken wings was nice amd crispy with a touch of spice. my favourite dishes were the seafood fried rice and the wok fried veggies. both had so much flavour and the fried rice had the right amount of chilli kick. the seafood in the fried rice were perfectly cooked that it just melts in your mouth. my friend really liked the grilled fish curry wrapped in banana leaf and we also enjoyed the moo krob pad prik khing. i was also surprised at our bill at the end. it was definitely great prices for the food we would come back for to eat again. overall we all left satisfied and i would definitely go back to try out more of their dishes.

i've been to this place a few times and they have never failed to amaze my taste buds. every time i go i order something different and it's been always amazing. the flavours and texture of the meat. they nail every single dish. i'm 😊😊😊 person after eating here.

the waitress wasn't lying when she asked us if we can take chilli, and then asked again!! the most spiciest papaya salad we have had so far! but you just can't keep away from the dish. if you can't take extreme spice, order the twice cooked sweet and sour pork ribs to numb that pain. highly recommend.

khao pla is a great thai restaurant located in chatswood opened by a chef who has worked in some of the leading asian fusion restaurants in sydney including ms gs, spice i am and mr wong. the space in this restaurant is not large so there is always a long line on weekends for dinner however we went earlier one night and managed to be seated without too long of a wait.

as a big fan of thai food, this is absolutely my best thai food experience in sydney ever!
the restaurant locates right outside the westfield in chatswood, inner decoration is very stylish.
the service is one of the best waiting team i have ever seen. attentive and friendly, highly trained.
the food is mind blowing!!! the spicyness in the spicy fried rice w seafood is sooo good! i normaly don't find anything "hot"/"chilly"/"spicy" really spicy but this one made my mouth burning! tasttes really good! and even the calamari is tender, compared with other restaurants' rubbery taste.
the fried chicken wing, i must say, can definitely qualify the best fried chicken in sydney. it's a perfect combo of juicy inside and crunchy outside. and it is hot! our dish sat on the table for ten minus before we eat, but it was still hot and tender! amazing!
the pork ribs wasnt my fave but my bf enjoyed it a lot. it's sweer and sour, the taste of honey and lime. the meat is really tender, marinated well， and perfectly cooked!
overal, it's the best experience i have had!

what a popular place! the staffs are flying here and there to serve. the thai food have a special sweet and sour taste. always have a great appetite. recommend the dessert sticky rice.

every night, there is a long queue. the food is nice and it worth waiting for 15 mins. their pork ribs are sweet and special, the portion is enough for an adult.
